Let's learn about signs!

 What are the signs: 

The signs are a security badge that provides information about the potential risks of a certain area; guidance and guides to evacuation routes or safety zones, and indicates the location
of equipment provided or systems that allow controlling eventual emergencies

Based on the message they convey, they can be classified as follows:

  • Orientation signage: serves to guide individuals in a specific environment (for example: location maps)
  • Information signage: service hours,
  • Corporate signage: products, services, promotions, etc.
  • Regulation signage: access restrictions, prohibitions
  • Direction signage: it is the most frequent. Its main function is to indicate the path that must be followed.
